Biology Tutor Mount Cotton, QLD
Empower and encourage them to problem solve themselves and to find a passion for learning. I still remember my fifth grade maths teacher, his passion was contagious and infectious and still to this day he is in my top three favourite teachers of all time (and I’ve been studying for 20 years!). I have well-developed interpersonal skills, from…

Being adaptable and tailoring the teaching approach to the individual needs and learning style of the student is crucial. With that, being patient and understanding of the students struggles is vital, if they are not comfortable with making a mistake with you they won’t be able to learn from you. I think my biggest strength is that I can…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do for a student it listen, and show patience. It may become frustrating if the child isn't understanding the concept thenfirst few times, however we must understand thag it is probably more frustrating for them. I am very patient and will attempt to teach different strategies for a concept if the…

It is very easy for students to feel disheartened if initial targets are not achieved, and hence as a tutor it is important for me to continue motivating students to reach their goals. In addition, no person is the same so every student tutored will have different strengths and weaknesses. As the tutor I would cater for the differences of each…

Making sure the student actually understands the content being taught. A lot of students have been in that situation where a teacher may ask the student whether they understood the topic presented, and even if they didn't, they would say they did to not slow the class down or bring attention to themselves. This is what tutoring in my belief should…

In my opinion it is extremely important to ensure the learner knows that it is safe to not succeed at first as learning is a process full of unsuccessful attempts.This will allow students to participate fearlessly in a tutoring session. Building that trust and relationship with students is an integral part of tutoring. It will enable students to…

I believe the most important value a tutor can teach a student is the motivation to change their perspective of learning or studying as inspiration to be a better student rather than viewing it as a chore. Guiding the student to reliable and trustworthy resources to grow their understanding on concepts so they have a tool to explore and learn from…

I think the most important thing a tutor can do is give a student confidence. A lot of academic success is really self-belief and believing you can do the problem before you begin. If you do not have confidence i.e., you do not think you can do it. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. That's why I am so passionate about this, since I believe I…

Local Reviews

Amber is a brilliant tutor - enthusiastic, knowledgeable and well prepared for each session. She makes the most of the time and has a great way of explaining things and yet still ensures the student is thinking for themselves. Gareth is feeling much more confident now and we are really pleased that we have Amber as his tutor to help him be his best for his upcoming final year at school.

Inside SheldonTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 7 student Riya worked on decimal operations including rounding, addition, subtraction, and multiplication, as well as tackling worded problems involving decimals.

In Year 10, Michael focused on bivariate data analysis using Pearson's correlation coefficient and practiced note-taking strategies to help interpret statistical relationships.

Meanwhile, Year 11 student Lucas explored applications of derivatives by graphing tangent lines and analyzing how changes in functions affect their graphs.

Recent Challenges

A Year 12 student, tackling velocity-time graph questions, struggled to collect all relevant details before planning responses—"he missed information hidden in the question," one tutor noted, leading to incomplete solutions.

In Year 10, messy layout in algebra problems meant errors weren't easily spotted or corrected, so extra time was spent retracing steps.

A Year 7 learner relied on memorizing how previous fraction questions looked instead of understanding the underlying process; when faced with a new format, confusion set in quickly.

In each case, clarity and confidence dropped as tasks grew less familiar or required flexible thinking.

Recent Achievements

One Sheldon tutor recently saw a Year 10 student who used to rush through probability questions now consistently list all variables and formulas before starting, which has helped him avoid the errors he made in past assignments.

In Year 11 maths, a student who previously struggled with logarithms was able to clearly explain when and why to apply them, showing real understanding rather than memorisation.

For a younger learner in Year 4, addition and multiplication had been confusing, but she can now solve problems confidently and even knows when to use LCM or GCD—she finished her worksheet without hesitation this week.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Capalaba Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St Luke's Catholic Parish School.
